Literally the speed of the song at 120 is the same as it is at 8. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just changing the tempo isn't going to change the underlying WAV file. The tempo will only affect the MIDI tracks. I haven't look at this in a long time, but I believe RealBand will do this for you, but not just by changing the tempo spinner. If you want to change the tempo of the audio (non-MIDI tracks), you need to run the command to change tempo (I forget which menu item it's on) to reduce or increase the tempo/song duration. You have to do that for each affected track. It may also probably result in funny sounding artifacts depending upon how much or little you change it.

If a combo of midi and audio, will be more difficult. Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I'm trying to change tempo of a few audio tracks in RealBand 2021 for my own analysis/practice. I select a single track and invoke the "Time Stretch and Pitch Shift Selected Audio Tracks." A yellow box appears with "1 consolidated file to process" and the progress bar immediately goes into "Progress (Not Responding)" and never recovers. Any insights? Thanks! Best, Warren Warren A.

That's in the Options Menu bar. You will need to redo all the preference settings including audio and midi.

The SEQ opens and works fine, but not this feature, unless I'm not doing something correctly. I'm running BIAB/RB off of the external drive but it's USB 3.0 and my computer is a new I9. For the heck of it, I did reset to factory defaults, and same behavior. Sounds similar to this-https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=419362 Thanks!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
